Motor Operated Potentiometer (MOP): Serves as the speed-setting input device, allowing operators to adjust the desired speed of the prime mover.
Speed Sensor: Monitors the actual speed of the prime mover by generating a frequency signal proportional to its rotational speed. This sensor’s input is crucial for maintaining accurate speed control.
Signal Converter: Transforms the frequency signal from the speed sensor into a corresponding voltage, which is then processed by the control system to adjust fuel delivery and maintain the set speed.
Power Supply: Provides the necessary electrical power for the control system’s operation. The 2301A model, for instance, operates with a supply voltage range of 10 to 40 Vdc for low-voltage versions, and 88 to 132 Vac or 90 to 150 Vdc for high-voltage versions.
Amplifier: Amplifies the control signals to drive the actuator, ensuring precise positioning of the fuel or steam control mechanism.
Voltage Switch: Monitors voltage levels within the system, providing inputs for functions such as synchronizing multiple generators or initiating load sharing.
The 2301 Speed Control system operates by continuously comparing the actual speed (as detected by the speed sensor) with the desired speed set via the motor operated potentiometer. If discrepancies are detected, the system adjusts the actuator to modify fuel or steam flow, thereby correcting the speed. This feedback loop ensures that the prime mover maintains consistent performance under varying load conditions.
